    I'm envious of your planes that are a few levels away :D

    My mid-term plan is to reach level 14 asap to get a level 3 range upgraded Pearjet for a NY - London flight.

    My long-term plan is to create some wacky flight plan from LA or Buenos Aires/Lima to Tokyo, Manila or Jakarta.

    Very thankful for this. I've been trying to figure things out using the pocket planes tool which cities I can bypass without having the planes yet :)

    I'm going to try longer routes so that I can play my other Ipad games :D
    Although I'm very much tempted to use arduous layovers to find out if it fits my gaming style.

    May I ask what airports you used?

    Wow! I noticed your sudden climb within the Top 10 on the last day! And then you stopped, must have gone to bed for the night. I'm sure it was more efficacious to open so many South American cities. Very smart move. I prolly should have done that. I only had Salvador, Rio and Sao in South America ... and then I stopped using Sao in the latter half of the event, relying mainly on Rio. Salvador jobs were coming in from NY, London, and Shanghai.

    I'm enjoying the slower pace of the current Wellington event. Entry into the Top 10 is 253+ jobs, and the #1 guy has 693 jobs. I've got a bunch of Kangaroos running back & forth between Sydney & Wellington.

    Can everyone share what they are doing for their regular routes lately? The strategy I've been using seems to have settled down at around 1.5M coins per day and not going any higher (checking about 4-5 times per day to reload planes). Anyone develop any interesting new profitable strategies to test out?

    I advise you to wait until level 16 and get those aeroeagles, unless you have a lot of bux. Aeroeagles have a better profit. That is what I did, I'm currently level 29 and have about 8 Aeroeagles-M. M is the best choice.

    I just bought whichever airports were on the edge of my mohawk's range which lead me to buying
    Wellington-Melbourne- port headland- Jakarta- Hyderabad- Kandahar- Istanbul- London- Reykjavik- Nuuk- goose bay- Chicago- saskatoon- Yellowknife- Fairbanks- nome

    There are several routes you can take, that just was the most obvious one I saw at the time

    Thank you! I wanted to use a tested route instead of fumbling blindly with airports.

    Thanks! I'll try to keep myself from spending the bux. I'll be very hard though. Maybe 1 Pearjet :D Sadly I've only a few bux left because I'm buying Birchcraft-M. I use the M planes too. Works for me.

    I haven't started Nome-Wellington yet but will probably do the following (which is one less airport than the one Bluebear used):

    Nome
    Whitehorse
    Saskatoon
    Quebec
    Nuuk
    Reykjavik
    Oslo
    Bucharest
    Kuwait City
    Butwal
    Bangkok
    Palu
    Cairns
    Brisbane
    Wellington


    A non-upgraded Supergopher will be able to do this route with no problems.

    A 2x range upgraded Mohawk could do this route (will need 2x upgrade for 2 of the legs).

    I agree with not getting too attached to the Pearjet. There are better planes to be had in the next few levels. Be patient. :D

    Three hours is not bad mine took 24 (give or take a couple hours) for my blimp to do it. Got ALOT of coins, took ten days for it to fill out on jobs...

    Hi. Level 13 and my airports are LA - Mexico - Lima - Recife - Lagos. I'm just wondering which next airports I should buy. My goal is to get to level 16 fast :D I'm using Birchcrafts, Mohawks & Kangaroos.

    I'm wondering if I should repurchase New York again, buy Buenos Aires or buy Cairo? Please advice me but please keep in mind that my goal is to gain levels and not earn gold or bux. Thanks!

    I also noticed that my Birchcrafts are doing very poorly compared to my Mohawks and Kangaroos. Is it because of my poor LA > Mexico > Lima > Recife > Lago route? Should the route be longer if I'm going to use Birchcrafts. Range is still bad though.

    We migrated to a new support system at http://support.nimblebit.com. It allows us to provided faster and more personal support with the average ticket seeing a response in something like 16 hours vs a couple days with the old system. We posted an announcement on the site a couple weeks ago about the change but unfortunately it only lets you put some text on the sidebar so it is easy to miss.

    Get Satisfaction has a great concept of having your users help other user but it never really panned out for us. That and it was a nightmare to manage and to make sure that everyone was helped.

    Hmmm, are you using advertising? How often do you play? I ran a route like that for a few days but I only maxed out at about 1.2 mil a day with it.

    EDIT: Oops, didn't notice you have more planes than me. That probably accounts for some of the difference.
